"The newspaper said that Hassan Fattah is to replace Martin Newland, the former editor of The Daily Telegraph who was brought in to set up the English-language broadsheet. Mr Newland will be The National’s new editorial director responsible for expanding the paper’s brand across a “range of platforms and services,” according to the Abu Dhabi Media Company, the owner."" And nbow this: "When the government announced that it had detained Sheikh Issa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan – a half brother of Abu Dhabi’s ruler and the UAE’s president – and was conducting a criminal investigation into allegations that he assaulted an Afghan citizen, it was not reported in The National."
